Вот все чего-то пишут, изливают душу, ну или, скорее всего изливают комбинация из трех букв частей. А вот мне тоже хочеться чего-то-там излить, но не льеться. Той злости которая, по гидровлической теорий психоанализа, и создает во мне избыток давления, и потом выходит ядовитыми, но (мне) интересными оборотами -- и ее, родной, нет. Неужели я понял что самсара нирвана после того как перестал пить вино?Current Mood: found Current Music: Andromeda |

Impressions of Utah are best summed up by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) kovrov (he speaks poetry without knowing it sometimes):
The salt flats.
The mormons.
Gorod etot jebanutyj.
The ministry of love in the middle of it.
The whole shabang makes it feel like a colony of Puritan outcasts on Venus out of an early american scifi story.(My impressions of the actual skiing and resorts will follow.) Current Mood:  productive Current Music: Megadeth, Youthanasia |

| » Sunday's skiing lesson -- skidded turns |
|---|
The problem with skis washboarding on hard snow in steeps is the laziness of my turn initiation. I let the skis float all the way to the fall line, and then only engage edges when they're at 90 degrees to gravity. At that point they cannot hold well, and i edge them too much and too hard. So, to fix that, here's what I should be doing - switch edges quickly, crisply, precisely
- punch the outside ski after switching edge to weigh it, transferring weight and loading it by down-weighting, NOT extending. Do this with feet, without turning hips
- When the ski is at max load towards the end of the turn start gradual unloading. Gradual.
- Stay low
- Look far ahead
- Visualize skiing sides of bowls on every turn with the ski working evenly throughout the whole turn
- Good exercises:
- stem christies (to get ski on edge before the "punch")
- release edge from standstill, engage other edge, watch ski turn, repeat

- I like doors either closed or open all the way. And I prefer closed. I can get up in the middle of the night just to close closet doors.
- I always lock my car twice. I started doing this only after I bought my bimmer.
- I prefer to work with a small, local, concentrated light. I generally turn off overhead lights if I need to concentrate. I need my cone of light to turn off the rest of the world.
- I play with my hair all the time (yeah, like anybody didn't know that).
- I hate 7. I love 8. I see numbers. 40-50 occupy a prominent position, look like a dip in a curve, and sound like these Vandersteen speakers. No, I don't have that thing where numbers come with colors.
- When I have to think really hard, i alternate between pacing and sitting with my feet up.

Ceremony
Reception
My toast:
Картина Первая – Соня
Киев, Сент-Луис, Айова
Чикаго, Нью Йорк, и снова
Чикаго. Соня домой вернулась.
Судьба ей там улыбнулась.
А может судьба не при чем
Может быть днем с огнем
Соня того искала
Кого ей ни где не хватало
Не гарного хлопця з вусами
Не рэднэка с сапогами
Не очкастого программиста
Не хипового пацифиста
Искала она только Диму
Желала она только Диму
Хотела быть Диме любимой
Хотела ему быть женой
Картина Вторая -- Димин Сон
(Да простит меня Аукцыон)
Сон, приснилось мне
Как я воюю в Израиле
Бой, во мне борьба
Израи-ль, Соня ль, моя судьба?
Но вот, чувствуя я -- это конец
Нет, мне не нужны осколки
Девичих сердец
Нужна мне лишь Соня
Взрыв, и все в огне
Я в красной кипе, я на коне
Израиль, Соня, неравный бой
Я ранен в сердце ее стрелой
Но вот, чувствую я – это конец
Все я еду домой в Чикаго
С Соней под венец
Пойду я не медля
Картина Третья -- Жизнь
Холодный Чикагский вечер
Ветер по окнам стучит
В теплой, уютной квартире
Дима в кресле сидит
Дима читает Ха-Арэц
Взгляд то суров то сердит
Хоть Диме и свят Израиль
Все время на Соню глядит
Не читается что-то газета
При чем тут Хамас и Мосад?
Как посмотрит Дима на Соню
В мыслях Маркиз Де Сад
Соня сидит напротив
Волосы цвета огня
Незнают что вместе, но думают
"Хорошо что ты есть у меня

1994:
LS: Саша, after dinner, can we like go to your room, and listen to cool music, and like talk about it.
BS: Yeah!
1995:
BS: You'll never believe what I got at Tower today.
LS: What?
BS: Scorpions CD
LS: What does it have on it?
BS: Everything ;)
LS: Does it have "let me take you far away.......... youuuuuuuuu'd like aaaaaaaaaaaaa hooooo-leeeeeeeeeeeeee-daaaaaaaaaaaay"?
BS: Oh yeah!
LS: I love you!
1998:
BS: You realize that people that can't say stuff like that are suffering. They're hiding. You know, people like ... they think they're so cool, but it's really just cowardice. You, on the other hand, are not afraid. And I respect you for it -- even if I don't always show it.
LS: ...........
BS: Nu c'mon. You know those people who tell you "get a hold of yourself" "be a man" -- you know I hate all that shit and would never say that to you.
LS: ...........
BS: Blah blah blah blah blah good blah blah. Blah blah blah better blah blah blah. Blah blah blah not bad blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah nice job, fancy car, good money, blah blah blah....
LS: Doesn't matter.

While some have mistakenly believed Kovrov to be merely a bodhisattva, he is actually an reincarnation of Buddha and Chebu-RA in one.

So, the irony of life is ... entertaining. I'm reading Portnoy's Complaint on the plane as I'm going to visit my parents, an orthodox wedding, and an aunt with AML. Why it took me so long to pick up this book -- I don't know. Stubbornness I guess. So, fairly quickly I realize that I get this book on such a gutoral level, 'cause Portnoy and I are not all that different (save for some of his perversions, which are not mine). So, I'm laughing, I'm crying, I'm weeping. I arrive, and 10 minutes after driving in the car with mommy dearest I realize that Portnoy's got nothing on me.

Found in Marat's former office under mysterious circumstances shortly after his graduation from Berkeley:
Yo, I'm MC Marat
But I ain't no Jean-Paul
You're an ass, like Borat
Head shaped like a convex hull
Yeah, you said you like Lisp
But you didn't mean CLOS
My mind is clear and crisp
And you need mental floss
Yeah you using a Mac,
But you no Mac Daddy
All you code is a hack
Mine is sexy, like Sadie
C++ is your grade bitch,
But it ain't your language
You like being the meat
In a triple-man sandwich
And your disk's never hard
So you touch yo own files
Just to check they're still there
And to make them compile
Your mind is closed
Like integers under addition
Your net always hosed
Packets need retransmission
You neither sound nor complete
And I drop rhyme like Agitar drops
a Junit suite
I'm free and type-safe
Just like monads in Haskell
While your nuts always chafe
Like fat man in the Catskills
You're yellow, like curry,
And I curry my functions
All your graphics are slurry
Noise in your circuit junctions
You're recursive procedure
With a missing base case
Like a newbie typedef
With just one curly brace
While I finish my rhyme
Go service page fault
You're a 286
In a pentium world
